Under Data Safe
A new survey has shown that European businesses are not protecting their data properly, leaving them open to serious problems in the event of downtime and making recovery difficult.
The report revealed that 63 per cent of SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) in France, the UK and Germany are likely to take in excess of a day to overcome issues that arise after downtime.
More than 600 firms were questioned as part of the Vanson Bourne study, with the majority of respondents demonstrating that they were not backing up data in a way that would ensure its safety and ease of access. It was shown that there is a general lack of confidence in most current systems amongst smaller businesses.
Only 60 respondents said that recovery after a disastrous event would be completed within an hour, which meant that a tiny minority felt prepared for viral infections or general on-site systems failure.
Any kind of disaster within small businesses can lead to an unsustainable loss of custom and revenue, with essential ties to the internet being cut and personal data being lost or erased. Recent studies have shown that in many cases small businesses fold as the result of extensive downtime.
25 per cent of respondents to this survey said that they rely on manual backup to protect and store the data accumulated by portable computing devices such as laptops. Nearly 20 per cent revealed that the backup of laptops and portable storage was not something that they had ever performed.
60 per cent of the European businesses questioned said that they had no central server system for backup and that they were relying on individual computers to act as storage facilities, leaving data dispersed in an irregular, inconsistent fashion.
The study found that UK businesses were far less backup-aware than their continental counterparts. Backup expert David Blackman said that the survey painted a surprising picture of the modern IT landscape within European businesses, especially since the damaging nature of downtime and data loss has been so widely evidenced.

Under Data Safe
Experts now believe that the majority of the world’s biggest businesses are infected by malicious Trojan software, which means that private data is harvested almost constantly.
Data security expert Uri Rivner warned against complacency, saying that every firm in every sector is a potential target for Trojan infection. He also said that hackers were modifying Trojans to have greater potency than in the past and that financial institutions are just one of many types of business that are under threat in the modern environment.
Speaking in San Francisco at the 2010 RSA Conference, Mr Rivner revealed that the vast majority of the firms listed in the Fortune 500 were subject to Trojan attacks, with data mined continually and extracted to the master servers operated by the hackers.
The Zeus Trojan is still forming the building blocks of the most dangerous Trojan types and its popularity is continuing to rise as its capabilities to destroy businesses are proved time and again.
Employee data is frequently targeted using Zeus according to Mr Rivner, although this is not exclusively limited to the type of industrial information that may initially have been assumed. Everything that a worker enters into an infected machine is logged and sent to a remote location, including passwords for social networking and even online dating services.
Mr Rivner warned that even extremely personal details, such as the blood type of the affected employee, could be compromised by a Trojan infection. Building a picture of a person and then using those details to create duplicate identities is something of which criminals are readily capable, within even the most trusted of firms.
The silver lining in this instance is that Mr Rivner believes that criminals are not as yet able to turn private information to widespread financial gain, which means that businesses still have time to protect themselves against the most common threats.
Security experts believe that creating multiple fail-safe procedures to protect sensitive data, or switching to a solution which ensures that data is properly protected at all times, will help to combat Trojans.
